The Reoinniug of tie End.

The beginning of disease is a slight debility or
disorder OF some Of the vital organs, the stom
ach, the liver or the bowels usually. There are
dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is troublesome. the
szin grows tawney and unhealthy looking, ihere
are pains in the right side or through the right
shoulder blade The climax is often utter p. os-
tration Of the physical energies, perhaps a fatal
issue. But if the difficulty is met in time with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitter. which is always ef-
fe tive as a remedy, and it should be resoTted 70
at an early stage there will be no reason to ap-
prehend those injurious subsequent effects upon
the system often eutaiied by entire Y cured dis
rases Far better is if, also to employ this safe
remedial agent in fever and ague, and other
rlalariaI onpiaints. than qilinine ard other p9-

fectua for time, ruin ti'f stomach and impair

Senator Whitthorne Thinks Jay Bird Navy
is What is Needed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Senator Whit
thorne believes in iay-biId navy. Did
you ever see a lot of jay birds after
hawk?" he said to me, talking of his new
naval bill. 1.-TWO or three of those active
little birds will drive a hawk as far as
they like. They dart in and out and
worry him until he, although twenty times
their size, is glad to get away from them.
Well, that's about my idea about a navy
We may want few hawks and eagles,
but what we waat most of, in numbers, is
the jay birds"
''And is it this class of naval Jay
birds that you propose to supply
by your bill offering bounties
for the construction of merchant
marine that can be used in time of war;"
That's it exactly. That is precisely my
plan. L believe that by giving bounties
to persons constructing and maintaining
vessels that can be made useful for car
rying troops and munitions of war; and
for doing the werk of cruisers also, wor
rying the big ships, we can have naval
contingent at small cost"
''You propose by this plan to encour-
aye nueu W SuteT u pon Ile sea service,
too, do you not?"
Precisely so. We have very few sea
men now. In case of naval war to day
we would have very few men with any
sea training, who would be of any parts
ular value in the navy. By my plan
we should encourage naval training and
have a sort of militia on the sea- as we
already have on the land. We have
passed bill this session giving nearly
half million year, to run on indefi
nitely, for keeping up the militia. /
want to do the same thing on the sea- and
at the same time encourage the construc-
tion of vessels that will contribute to
commerce in time of peace and defense
in time of war. A lot of small iron YES
sells that could hover around and keep a
constant attack upon large one would
soon render it useless for Il big gunboat
must have its supplies of coal frequently.
Let one of those big war vessels start
across from Europe, and let us send a
fleet of active, light steel cruisers. armed
with modern guns, to fight her all the way
over, forcing her to often stop and strip
for battle, her supplies would be ex-
hausted by the time she would get here"

A BOSTON man purchased tickets at the
station in Boston for Montreal. and took
berth in the sleeper. When he arrived
in Concord, N. H., he became possessed
of the idea that he could not sleep until
he had drink, and notwithstanding the
conductor told him the train stopped but
two or three minutes, he left his gripsack
upon the car and ran upon the street to
the nearest bar and got his drink. He
got back to the station just in time to see
the rear end of the train as it passed out
of tho railroad yard. He remained there
over night, and in the morning he heard
of the frightfuI accident near White
River Junction, VT. which he had so mar
rowly escaped. He took another drink
ana returned TO Boston.
SICILY is the chief source of mama. In
that country the trees are cultivated In
plantations, and when about eight years
old they begin to yield. Cuts an inch and
. half or two inches long ars made in the
bark, cutting through to the wood. One
cut is made daily, beginning near the
bottom of the trunk, with each succeed
ing cut about an inch above tina former
one. The thick, syrup like juice exudes
from tho cuts and hardens on the bark
into white, spongy flakes, which whom
hard enough are removed and dried still
further before they are packed for com
msrce. 1t consists mainly of form of su-
gar called mantle, and has milk, laxative
properties.

OsE of the latest metallic compounds
in favor with engineers is aluminium and
wrought IRON, When a fraction of per
cent. of aluminium Is added to wrought
iron at white heat, the melting point OF
the wrought iron suddenly drops nearly

that it can be cast as easily as Scotch pig

little developed; large sections Of
which are uncultiyated and even

settling it and building il up; if
we can make it productive and
valuable, it will add to the trade
and prosperity of our towns,
Just as the settlement Of adjacent
territory has built up large cities
in the north. With all this
country settled by industrious
truck farmers and dairymen, our
railroad towns will have 4 trade
far more profitable than the export
of cotton can ever be, and every
line of business will be greatly
improved. 1t is our purpose %
